So whats all of your wonderful experiences with the ranked games?
It'll make me feel tons better when i know its not just me lol.

Im right there with ya man. Id say 75% of solo queue games (especially at low ~1400 Elo) are decided in champ select. It's a shame that **** near 85% of the people don't seem to care to discuss team composition. It's one of the most annoying things I've ever experienced. I assumed people played ranked to win, I guess I was wrong. It is a bit consoling to realize that I'm not the only one experiencing this though.

It is, however, quite an incredible experience when you join a lobby and your entire team starts discussing team comp and all 5 players seem to be equally astonished that the other 4 seem to care haha.
